    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the results of extended services for the post-operative rehabilitation of patients with osteoporotic hip fracture. Methods A total of 80 patients with osteoporotic hip fracture were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 40) and control group (n = 40). All patients underwent integrated services, including unilateral total hip replacement, rehabilitation, anti-osteoporosis chemotherapy and nursing care. Patients in experimental group joined osteoporosis club and accepted standard extended services after operation. Functional recovery of the hip and bone density improvement were observed after 12 months. Results There was a significant improvement in functional recovery in experimental group than in control group (Harris score, P<0.05). The bone mineral density was improved in both groups postoperatively (P<0.05). The L2-L4 bone mineral density between the two groups was different significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions Extended services for the post-operative rehabilitation of patients with osteoporotic hip fracture can promote the functional recovery of the hip and improve bone mineral density.
